The outfit called for at the farm in the cream-gathering system of 

 work is simply a tank and cans of uniform size for deep, cold 

 setting in water. The Cooley system of setting the milk has 

 igenerally been adopted throughout New England at the cream 

 ^gathering creameries. 



The water tanks or coolers are made refrigerator st3le, haA'ing 

 •dead air space between the case and lining. The cans are 19 inches 

 ■deep by 8^ in diameter, with a capacity of 18 quarts. The milk is 

 strained into the cans as soon as it is drawn from the cows, and 

 the cans at once immersed in water in the tank. The temperature of 

 the water is controlled with ice. This method of setting the milk 

 is equally well adapted to private dairying, and is widely in use.
